I Should Be Working Outside

Spent a good part of yesterday making a heavy soup and experimenting with some dried fig pieces that I made into oatmeal squares.  Made a big salad as well.

We deposited our checks last night.

Today I addressed and mailed the rest of Ron’s holiday cards, did more banking and some work for NEPS.
